See Table 4-12 for a list of the standard concentration matrices available from
Micro Motion, along with the density and temperature measurement units used in
calculation, and the unit used to report concentration data.
Tip
If the standard matrices are not appropriate for your application, you can build a custom matrix or
purchase a custom matrix from Micro Motion.

Deg Balling
Matrix represents percent extract, by
mass, in solution, based on °Balling.
For example, if a wort is 10 °Balling
and the extract in solution is 100% su-
crose, the extract is 10% of the total
mass.

Deg Brix
Matrix represents a hydrometer scale
for sucrose solutions that indicates the
percent by mass of sucrose in solution
at a given temperature. For example,
40 kg of sucrose mixed with 60 kg of
water results in a 40 °Brix solution.

Deg Plato
Matrix represents percent extract, by
mass, in solution, based on °Plato. For
example, if a wort is 10 °Plato and the
extract in solution is 100% sucrose, the
extract is 10% of the total mass.

for HFCS 42 (high-fructose corn syrup)
solutions that indicates the percent by
mass of HFCS in solution.
